Both brothers' used the defense that because there were two men in the room - and caught on video - that it couldn't be proven which brother committed the murder.

The Durning brothers were construction workers who had been in Escambia County from central Florida working on a job site. They met Barberi at a bar near the motel, and surveillance video shows all three at the bar before leaving and going to Barberi's motel room.

DNA evidence linked both Durning brothers to the crimes, including a blood trail from Barberi's room to their shared room at the same motel and items from Barberi's room that were found discarded in a drain pipe near the motel.

The brothers left Barberi's room in the early hours of Nov. 22 after having been inside about two hours. Surveillance footage shows nobody came or left from the room until a housekeeper found Barberi's body the next morning.
